They do need to address the offense further. I think he thought they’d be good enough to get through it and be competitive, but they were grossly undermanned and I do question Newton’s health given how much stronger he looked through the first few weeks after going back through the season the other night. But there were a lot of things that also went wrong that didn’t help things, and only Bill really knows what those are.
"Aha, Belichick going 6-9 confirms that he's been doing things wrong all along!"
For those of us who remember, Parcells was the GOAT at pressers.I’ve never understood why anyone cares about his demeanour during pressers. If anything, his historical approach has been much, much more entertaining than the usual HC strategy.
First, he is cartoonish and I personally find it hilarious. I also like his disdain for stupid questions. Finally, his strategy makes it so that he never offends opponents, colleagues, players... so they don’t need to feel « disrespected » and whatnot.
Nobody's perfect but Bill's the closest thing to Red Auerbach that I've ever seen.I don’t think Belichick necessarily needs motivation, but I think the results made him realize he was wrong about some things personnel-wise.

I do not understand this idea where people assume belichick believes his team and decisions are perfect and he undergoes realization as if it causes him to change his criteria of evaluation.I don’t think Belichick necessarily needs motivation, but I think the results made him realize he was wrong about some things personnel-wise.

I think like any person in his role, it’s key not to overreact and to take a measured approach with every decision. We know this even during the championship years where people were losing their minds in early October only to see it play out just fine during the postseason.I do not understand this idea where people assume belichick believes his team and decisions are perfect and he undergoes realization as if it causes him to change his criteria of evaluation.
Every decision maker on the nfl is aware that many decisions are wrong in hindsight (there may be 8 or 10 draft picks in any draft that were the best choice in hindsight) because they are always based upon speculation, and the unknown. People actually act like Belichick refuses to accept that any decision he makes could ever be wrong when he actually has spent his entire career making bad decisions along with good ones, owning them and moving forward. It’s literally what he does every day.
I’m not really responding specifically to your post because I know you didn’t imply these things, but the concept in general and how it gets discussed here.
right? Cheezus.Give me a break with this ****.
Ridiculous post.
I didn’t read it that way.
Being less abrasive with the media will be helpful. Otherwise the media will pile on like they’ve been waiting to do for 20 years and it’s started already.
But, Red had the common sense to know when it was time to step away from coaching and went on to win 6 additional championships as the GM solely.Nobody's perfect but Bill's the closest thing to Red Auerbach that I've ever seen.
I don't like that Brady isn't finishing his career in a Pats uniform and I believe in players more than coaches, but Bill is miles ahead of anyone else in the NYFL. He makes less costly mistakes in a season than some HCs make in a single game.
Think back to all the mistakes that he's ever made here in 20 years. I can only come up with a handful and a couple of those are debatable.
